There are other minerals that form rosette shapes. Among these are
hematite, aragonite, chalcedony, and selenite. The selenite rose rock
is affectionately known as "the desert rose", and is often
confused with the barite rose.

The selenite rose can be found in places like California, Libya, Mexico,
Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, just to name a few. They are distinquished
from the barite rose with their characteristics - the edges of selenite
roses are sharper and the crystalline structure is less hard (on the
Mohs scale of hardness) than the barite structure.
